NappyValleyNet meet-up, win tickets to The Country Living Spring Fair and more Easter holiday fun: Your weekly What’s On guide from NappyValleyNet

Dear NappyValleyNetter

Welcome to your weekly What’s On activity guide from NappyValleyNet!

It’s non-stop fun in March. Last week the neighbourhood was populated by Harry Potters, Olivers, Wallys (as in ‘Where’s’), Little Red Riding Hoods, Snow Whites and Willy Wonkas. It’s Red Nose Day tomorrow and this year it’s all about ‘making your face funny for money’. So if you haven’t already tidied away the face paints – don’t! Get creative with that famous red nose as your centrepiece. In this time of the ‘selfie’, all you have to do is text a picture of yourself and you’ve donated £1. Kerchiingg for a brilliant charity….Then open the door and head out into NappyValley to spread the fun and laughter. And check into our calendar for more ways to join in around here and entertain you and yours. It’s ever-growing thanks to you, so please do keep on adding to it. Just follow the little green button (as opposed to the yellow brick road). It works like magic, a bit like Oz! (click here)
